Shemen - I used the St James Mandarin and Pathouli cream and cologne for the first time on Saturday, and the shave was exceptional. Great scent from from cream and cologne.
The cream lathers up really well from only a small amount, great glide and excellent skin care. Really no need to splash anything on afterwards (used my EJ DE86 and supermax stainless blade)
The cologne is a bit weird. there's no alcohol in it so no sting and the scent is very pleasant, the wife loved it, BUT it sort of goes on a touch sticky and feels a little strange. Maybe just me but feels a touch gloopy compared to what I would expect from cologne. This does soak in after a while though and doesn't remain and the skin care is good. In fact my face felt pretty excellent after this shave.
I would rate the St James a level above the Truefitt N0.10 in my opinion. Better scent, great shave and the glass jar is very classy. All abit of a bargain at half price.
My two favourite creams are Cyril Satlers and Vulfix and I would happily put this up with them, both of which I rate higher than TOBS and the Truefitt No.10.
A note on the scent, it very much reminds me of Clinique Happy, which is one of my wife's favourite scents so I wear that a lot when we go out. In fact I would say that if Clinique ever did a proper shaving cream in the Happy range it may be very close to this scent.
